Second National Preventive Health Research Programme     Defined Terms - Bohemian Teenager Symphony Orchestra Programme    Bohemian Teenager Symphony Orchestras Programme

Caped Seven Year Tenure means Marginalised boys and girls from one of the Selected 20 Lowest Socio-Economic Regions In Australia With A Population >1,500 may join a Bohemian Teenager Symphony Orchestra as a teenager. 

There are seven teenage years from thirteen to nineteen years inclusive.  Hence, if a Marginalised boy or girl joins a BTSO on their thirteenth birthday, he/she may remain in their BTSO whilst they remain a teenager. 

If a Marginalised boy or a girl joins after turning age 13, but up to age 15, the boy or girl may remain for a Caped Seven Year Tenure by vacating the BTSO before their 22 birthday.

The Caped Seven Year Tenure caps out at age 22 years.

Hence, if a teenager joined say at age 16 years and 9 months, their maximum tenure would be 5 years and 3 months because upon turning 22 they would have to vacate their BTSO.

The Second National Preventive Health Programme targets Marginalised  teenagers who live in the Selected 20 Lowest Socio-Economic Regions In Australia With A Population >1,500.   It is primarily a "teenager" programme, but it accepts that some teenagers may not decide to join a BTSO until well into their teenage years, and the programme caters to this by providing some security of tenure beyond the official 19 years and 364 days limit of a teenager.
